PETITION TO REMOVE WDFW DIRECTOR ANDERSON, CHIEF CROWN & DEPUTY CHIEF CENCI

[Special T]

BK Drones is a very accurate description...

I feel that internet petitions are worth somewhat less than the paper they are printed on.
 Mr. Vandivert's book, even when the personal animosity between him and Mr. Cenci is discounted, raises points that need to be addressed. It also points out serious flaws in the institutional culture of WDFW that have acted to the detriment of that organization's mission and the Public which it serves. I am sending copies of "Operation Cody" to both my State Representative, and my State Senator. I feel that if each and every one of the Drones in Olympia were to receive multiple copies perhaps they would be moved to get off their collective butts and address some very serious issues.
I would urge those reading this to follow my lead and send copies to their representatives in Olympia.
Sincerely,
BK

I think your nailed it.  Cenci and I certainly do have "personal animosity", but as I have told a couple of reporters if you only read the first couple of chapters and the last couple of chapters of my book you can get a sense of what is wrong. 
In the first couple of chapters I accurately quote the Deputy Chief of Fish and Wildlife as saying "nobody gives a s#@$ about deer and elk", and in the last chapters I explain how the deputy chief used the media to warn the state that we were coming with search warrants on the day we were serving the warrants.  Either of those two things should be enough to raise deep concerns.

So, what happens when it gets to 1500? Does this require someone to do something or is it a symbolic goal?

Checked with some folks I know on the "inside" over in Olympia.
Seems UC, NO speak with fork'd tongue.
I signed in on the petition just now, failed to note what number I was.

This petition has no real teeth, it is simply another tool to show the WDFW commission, the legislators and the governor's office that there really is a problem within WDFW.  They can choose to ignore the problem, or effect some changes....it's up to them.
But if no changes occur, then they all can explain to the media why not.

I encourage anyone and everyone to ask WDFW employees about me or about the "issues" I address.  I think you will find that other than a few "admin lovers" (mostly in the marine division), everyone will agree with my message (if they are willing to speak about it).  You will also hear that I am an bit difficult, course, and even hostile at times, but 100% truthful.

If this is about WDFW, what difference does it make what people think about you? I trust this isn't a personal vendetta.

The reason my personal integrity matters, is because I am presenting the facts as I see and know them, and asking people to trust that I am stating the facts accurately.

I just looked up the 2013 WA State Dept. of Personnel “State Employee Survey” WDFW only had one agency with lower “General Satisfaction” survey results, and WDFW scored 3rd lowest in “Customer feedback used” (including Dept. of Corrections “customers”), and tied for 2nd worst in employees “Treated with respect”.
